Just started the pill?

Question

I just started taking the b.c. pill I was off of it for two months. I have been back on it for 2 weeks now. I am an emotional wreck! I am mad, sad, and sometimes happy. I am crying and I don't know why, and I keep starting fights, that usually I would ignore. Is this natural? Is it because my hormones are just all over the place? What's going on here?

Answer 1

Completely normal.

I am a normally laid back easy going girl but on B.C. i'm sad and depressed or easily angered by little things or things that normally wouldn't bother me.

It'll take your body at least 3 months to adjust.

My symptoms on B.c. were so severe I quit taking it. My b.c. made me throw up, nauseaous, depressed, and very high strung. My bf said he didn't want me on b.c. anymore cause of the side effects.

Just try to ride it out girl.

Answer 2

it's perfectly natural. birth control pills as you know have hormones in them so they can cause moodiness.  Though some have higher dosages of hormones than others.  so depending on what kind of b.c. pill ur taking it's not surprising.  i'm currently taking yaz and i don't have trouble with my emotions.  i hope i helped.  and i hope you get back to ur normal self soon.

Answer 3

Some pills make you all moody and emotional.  I'd talk to your doctor and try a different one cuz every pill is a lil different.  I was taking yasmin and it didn't do that, although it is expensive since they don't have a generic brand.

Answer 4

of course this is because of your hormones! especially since you were on it, off it for a short period of time, and then back on them. its good though that you recognize why you are acting this way.

i was the same way when i was off the pill for a month. i was crazy as h**l and also gained about ten pounds, which didn't help with my mood. just be patient while your hormones level out.
